Item description from seller

(New Mexico, Map.) Capt. Allen Anderson. Map of the Military Department of New Mexico 1864 (Plate XCVIII) in "Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies" (1891-1895). U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C, 1895. Published under the direction of the Hons. Redfield Proctor, Stephen B. Elkins and Daniel S. Lamont, secretaries of war, by Maj. George B. Davis, U.S. Army, Mr. Leslie J. Perry, civilian expert, Mr. Joseph W. Kirkley, civilian expert, Board of Publication. Compiled by Capt. Calvin D. Cowles, 23d U.S. Infantry. This map was created under the direction of Brig. Gen. James H. Carleton by Capt. Allen Anderson in 1864 and printed in 1895. Sheet 29"18". This color lithograph map was published in 1895 at the Government Printing Office in Washington D.C., and was compiled by Captain Calvin D. Cowles and others. It is an absolutely stand-out achievement in cartography and an essential element of the massive war records of the Civil War. The maps published in this atlas were tremendously detailed (depending of the scale). In general the maps locate topographic and geographical factors, plus railroads, forts, encampments, and in some cases when the scale allows, it is detailed to individual houses. It of course shows troop movements, battle positions, and lines of battle and its progress. The work done for the atlas is superb. Nothing is printed on the back of the map—the verso is clean and blank. This map details the Southwestern frontier of the Civil war and shows almost the entirety of Arizona and New Mexico. Very sharp and clean and crisp. There is a small short tear along the bottom inch or so of the fold. The fold by the way was integral to publishing and is original to this plate. Note:there are three small insert maps that are not related to the AZ/NM map. Near-FINE condition "This is the most detailed atlas yet published on the Civil War. It consists of reproductions of maps compiled by both Union and Confederate soldiers."--"Civil War Maps" by Richard Stephenson.  2nd edition. …
